From the Middle Ages up to the 19th century, Lymington was famous as a salt-making town. In the mid-1600s, a line of salt pans stretched over 800 feet along the coast between Lymington and Hurst Castle, providing a little extra seasoning for households up and down the land.

I have been working in the care industry for 28 years, following in the footsteps of my Nan and Mum. I have been a Registered Manager for the last 6 years, with my 1.5 years in homecare. I love my job as we are enabling people to remain in their own homes and live independently for longer. I love to explore the country in our camper!

Hi, I'm Adam and as Regional Care Director, I'm responsible for making sure that all the customers we help are looked after brilliantly. In order to do this, we need to have the very best carers and support teams there for them so that they can thrive within Helping Hands and do what they do best: care. I think we do everything possible to really understand our customers' needs and then do everything possible to find the right carer for them. Our carers do a wonderful job, and they are special people who are 'hardwired' to care.
Our Reviews
Fully regulated by the CQC
Our Lymington branch is fully regulated and accredited by the CQC
Visiting care is a great option if you’re looking for extra support to help you with your daily routine. Our carers can assist to suit your specific needs, from helping out around the house with laundry and meal preparation to accompanying you to appointments or the shops.
Our personalised care plans start from just 30 minutes a week, and are fully tailored to meet your requirements. We’ve provided home care to thousands of customers since 1989, and our person-centred, flexible approach allows you to benefit from our expert care whilst maintaining your independence and comfort at home.
Live-in care in Lymington
When you choose live-in care, you’re getting the best of both worlds. Whether your needs are mild or complex, live-in care allows you to receive the level of care you need whilst still being able to enjoy the comfort and familiarity of your own home. Not only will you get superb standards of round-the-clock care, but you’ll also get the benefit and reassurance of companionship from a carer who will be matched to your personality, hobbies and interests. Of course, our carers understand the need for personal space, dignity and privacy, so they’ll be respectfully discreet and unintrusive.
Better than a care agency in Lymington
At Helping Hands, we’re better than a home care agency because our carers are the most important people in the company. We directly employ all of our carers, rather than insisting that they operate as self-employed individuals, because they’re the ones doing the important work of looking after you. This also means you won’t get any hidden fees or unexpected surcharges with us – what you see is what you get.
Domiciliary care for independence at home
Since 1989, we’ve been providing domiciliary care to thousands of customers, giving them support and independence in the comfort of their own home and allowing them to enjoy life on their own terms. Our visiting service is personalised to your wishes, from just 30 minutes a week to round-the-clock care and companionship. Whether you require help around the house with things like personal care and laundry, or need assistance attending appointments or doing the weekly shop, our carers are highly trained and exceptionally dedicated to ensuring your routines and preferences are respected.
Dementia care from experienced carers
We’ve been caring for people living with dementia for over 30 years, which has given us unparalleled experience in caring for customers in their own homes and enabling them to live their most enjoyable lives in a familiar environment. Dementia is a complex condition, and no two cases are ever the same. Our expert dementia care team will support you every step of the way, giving you as much independence as possible, reducing confusion and stress, keeping you close to loved ones and helping you to create, preserve and reflect on precious memories.
Respite care for short-term support
Respite care from Helping Hands is a great option for occasions when you unexpectedly find yourself in need of care. It may be that your normal carer is taking a break or is suddenly unavailable, or perhaps you’ve just been discharged from hospital prematurely and need some help around the house. Whatever the reason, we can ensure you receive the support you need, and even in an emergency, we’ll almost always be able to provide you with one of our brilliant carers within 24 hours.
Elderly care tailored to you
Elderly care can be useful if you find yourself needing extra support with certain tasks around the home. Whether you’re struggling to get in and out of the bath, vacuum the floors or do the laundry, our compassionate carers can provide you with support in your home as often as you need them. Our flexible packages start from just 30 minutes a week, so call us today to let us know how we can help make your life more straightforward and enjoyable.
Fully trained carers in Lymington
Our carers are exceptional, and we’re very proud of the expertise, dedication and compassion that they demonstrate in going above and beyond for our customers every day. Helping Hands only recruit carers who reflect our desire to provide a level of care that is life-enhancing and people-centred. We then provide them with award-winning training, both upon joining and as they develop their skills and gain experience. To provide you with peace of mind about our high standards, we’re also fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales.
